Never again will you have to choose between color and moisture. Products like this creamy balm enriched with nourishing algae extract, vitamin E, and rice lipids, allow you to rock some of the season's most vibrant shades while leaving your lips soft and kissable.

If you've got a defined cupid's bow, defining your lip shape might be tricky to accomplish with traditional balm pots. This cult-favorite Lip Crayon allows you to precisely trace your lips, depositing color and moisture in the prettiest way.

Whatever balm you choose, top it off with a swipe of this SPF topcoat to protect your lips from harsh UV rays. Infused with grape seed extract and sunflower seed oil, the Lip Screen adds a boost of hydration and is sheer enough to let your tinted lip color of choice shine through.

Formulated with a handful of botanic oils—jojoba, sunflower seed, and passion fruit seed oil, to name a few—this oil balm is more like skin care for your lips. Choose from eight shades that range from nude to berry, and watch the color melt onto your lips with one smooth glide.

Smearing lip balm onto chapped lips often calls attention to unflattering cracks and dryness. Solve the root of the problem by first sloughing away dead skin. This dual-purpose pot makes it easy with a sugar scrub on one end and a hydrating balm on the other. The sugar scrub features a blend of moisture-rich ingredients like castor, grape seed, and jojoba oils while the balm is infused with aloe, coconut oil, green tea extract, and more.
